* The panther from TreeForTwo.* ''Scaredy Cat'' isn't particularly scary, as most of the stuff [[TheWoobie Sylvester]] goes through falls into the {{Amusing Injuries}} category ("And just ''what'' were you planning to do with that anvil?"). But there were two genuinely frightening parts: the first cat being led on the death march, which - of course - Porky doesn't notice ([[spoiler:until he's on the receiving end, that is]]). Especially since [[KilledOffForReal we never see the cat again after the first scene]]. Then, Sylvester gets pulled downstairs and emerges [[NothingIsScarier white as a sheet and visibly shaken.]] [[FridgeHorror What the hell did the mice do to him?!]]

* ''The Hypo-Chondri-Cat'' in general, due to its subject matter (mice Hubie and Bertie convincing hypochondriac Claude Cat that he's terminal, and after Claude wakes up from "surgery", they pretend he's ''dead''). Of particular note is the short nightmare sequence in the middle of the cartoon, where haunting music plays over a black background and abstract figures and we hear an echo-y Hubie and Bertie declaring, "We've got to operate!" ''(shudder)''

* Yosemite Sam's descent into Hell in "Devil's Feud Cake", certainly not helped by the shrill descending music by Bill Lava.

* The ending of ''Dr. Devil and Mr. Hare'' was the most disturbing for any WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoon as his FrankensteinsMonster he created to beat up the TazmanianDevil then turns on him as Bugs wails with genuine terror, "No, no, no, not me, Frankie! Not me, Frankie! No, Frankie, No! No!" Shortly afterwards, Bugs hobbles back on camera to ask if there's a doctor in the house, which normally would've added some levity, but thanks to Bill Lava's horror movie-esque music, it only makes it ''worse''.

Compare to the ending in "Half-Fare Hare", which also ends with Bugs taking a beating (he accidentally hits his head and gets a series of [[CranialEruption head bumps]]), but thanks to the goofy music it's funny rather than off-putting.

** the ending is really nightmare fuel the dog gets force fed gravy and then the cartoon just ends, making the audience think the dog gets his just desserts.

** For those that don't get it, a bullying dog frequently berates his cat and mouse henchmen for forgetting the ending is really nightmare fuel gravy on his meat. But when [[spoiler: the dog gets force fed gravy is morbidly obese from eating too much meat, the cat and then mouse end up killing him by stuffing him further with the cartoon just ends, making the audience think the dog gets his just desserts.gravy.]]
